Plan Holder's List

Once the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors authorizes the solicitation of bids, the Department of Public Works maintains a “Plan Holder’s List” for each project until the time that bids/request for proposals is closed. The Plan Holder’s List is comprised of firms that have paid for and received a set of plans and specifications from the Department’s Business Office.

Note: Only those firms that are on the Plan Holder’s List are considered “Responsive Bidders”.

The reason for this requirement is so that, in the event that an addendum is issued, only those firms that are on the Plan Holder’s List will be sent a notice of the addendum.

As subcontractors often use the Plan Holder’s List to contact potential prime contractors, Caltrans has requested that the Department of Public Works post the Plan Holder’s List on its web site. The Plan Holder’s List may be viewed by following the link below. The Department endeavors to update the Plan Holder’s List once a week. (Not available at this time)
